Ernie Pyle is on vacation and at the request of his readers we are reprinting some of his favorite columns.)

COSTILLA, N. M,, May 4, 1938. —It has just occurred to me that we have been wandering around New Mexico for more than three weeks now. That is longer than I usually plan to stay in any state. I've been lying awake the last couple of nights trying to think why we stayed so long. And the only conclusion I can reach is that we must like it out here. But we missed one village in New Mexico that I was busting to see. The name of the village is LaLuz. And the reason I want to go there: I have a friend in New Mexico whose

first name is Liz, and I'll never draw another peaceful breath until I get to write a piece about ¥Liz, the Lalapalooza of LaLuz.” This State has a couple of odd laws affecting travelers.

An Old Liguor Law

In New Mexico it is lawful to carry a six-shooter while traveling. But you must have it put safely away within half an hour after reaching your destination. Why a half hour? I have no idea. unless it's to give you legal time to dispose of any citizens who might be personally obnoxious to you. The other law has to do with liquor.

Our Town

THE OTHER DAY in a piece about the old brass bands around here, I casually mentioned The Liocomotive, an early Indianapolis newspaper. It deserves better treatment.

The Locomotive was started in 1847 the vear the first train pulled into Indianapolis. The paper was backed by John H. Ohr, Daniel B. Culley and David R. Elder, three apprentices in the Journal office, then in the hands of John D. Defrees. It lasted exactly three months. It was revived the next January by Douglas & Elder, enlarged a little (to 7x10 inches) and filled chiefly with the same sort of material that goes to make a modern Sunday newspaper. In no time at all, it began to pay—for the reason that all its news was local and personal, a field completely neglected by the grave political organs of the time. It was the first newspaper the women took the trouble to read. In 1850, John Harkness and John R. Elder (Bowman’s grandfather) bought The Locomotive and speedily ran its circulation above that of any paper around here. Its success was deserved. Besides its sketches of the Constitutional Convention and its exposure of the drunken orgies of the expiring Legislature of 1851—the first unexpurgated account of an annual disgrace for a dozen vears—it published a lot of key-hole stuff concerning social and religious affairs. In politics, it was neutral—not merely independent. There's a difference and The Locomotive sensed it from the start. In 1861, The Locomotive was merged with The Sentinel. Fact is, the owners of The Locomotive bought The Sentinel.

This law

Its Poetry Was Something

The most remarkable thing about The Locomotive, however, was the wealth of original literary material in its pages—especially in the line of poetry. Its files reveal an output of poetic aspiration that is nothing short of breath-taking. You won't believe it, but it's a fact nevertheless that The Locomotive had so many poets that when Coggeshill published his “Poets and Poetry of the West,” in 1860, the anthology contained the work of no less than a dozen citizens of Indianapolis. At a

Washington

WASHINGTON, May 15.—As seen here, the picture today is about as follows: EUROPE—German attack on the Low Countries is no more than what was expected at outbreak of war. Outcome is in doubt. If attack is successful, Hitler is expected to take a short breathing spell to consolidate and then either turn on England or direct a major flank attack against French. Hitler is thought to be aiming for a decision this year. British and French, outdistanced in advance preparedness, need time, hope to hold on. take a beating for several months, and in the end make their superior resources tell. Chances on war's outcome are rated at about 50-50.

FAR EAST—Japan is under no pressure to seize Dutch East Indies as essential supplies from there are forthcoming under present conditions. Some believe Japan intends no move unless it appears Germany is certain to win in Europe, in which case Japan probably would seize islands to forestall any argument with Germany about them. Others believe presence of American fleet in mid-Pacific is deterring Japan. WESTERN HEMISPHERE—Every ercouragement is being given to hemisphere solidarity, with assurance that the United States will do everything in its power to protect this hemisphere. Watchfulness over fifth column activities is strongly counselled.

Looking to Our Defenses

HOME FRONT-—Intense speeding up of defense has begun and for the time being this is likely to be the dominant interest in Washington, completely overshadowing other questions. It is the conviction that. no matter what may be in store, we cannot go wrong by intensive defense measures. Little dispute exists between the Administration and Congress on this point. Appointment of a joint committee of Congress

My Day

WASHINGTON, Tuesday —T spent hom 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock vesterddy at City College in New York City. They showed me their first house plan. Of course, for them a house does not really mean a building, it means a group of young people who have handed together as mem ! bers of a house and the space i 8 given to them allows them the use of a house only a specified number of times during the month. The two houses I saw yesterday are certainly used and, if the value of any project is the amount that it is actually used, then this one must be good. A portrait of Adolph Lewis ohn, an alumnus in whose memory the house was given, faced me as I went into the living room. Then the house itself faded from my eves, when I looked at the crowds and crowds of young faces before me. Eveiy single one of these boys really studies while he is in college. The scholastic stanaing is high because these boys know that not only they but often their families, make sacrifices to obtain an education which they hope will bring them happier and more satisfying lives, It must be a most exhilarating thing to teach in a college of this kind. One of the faculty told me that there never was any dearth of cone versation. I can well imagine that, for I am sure that every type of thinking is present because every type of background is there, Even though it was the »

says it is illegal for a traveler to carry more than one quart of liquor. The funny part is that this law was passed during national prohibition when it was illegal to carry liquor anywhere in the U. S. Speaking of traveling with a six-shooter, I have traveled with a gun only once in my life. That was in 1926, when we drove “around the rim” of the United States in a Model-T. I traded a friend out of a bedraggled old six-shooter and we left thoroughly armed. I didn’t get any cartridges for the gun until we got into Georgia. And I never tried to shoot it until

we got into Texas. $f & £

Deadshot Ernie in Action

Then one day, way out on the prairies, far from anybody's sight or hearing, we experimented. It was in rocky country, and I picked out a rock about half as big as a house, stood just across the road from it, and fired all six shots without ever touching the rock. The gun barked only once more for me. It was in the desert of central Washington State. It was just before dusk one evening, when the jackrabbits were coming out thick. You could see a couple of dozen at a time, loping across the road. We were in a roadster, with the top down. I stopped, stood up in the car, and then, suddenly seized with a sort of Wild West mania, yelled like a lunatic while I put six bullets into the desert dust among the loping jackrabbits. I do not recall that a single rabbit increased his speed by so much as a fraction of a lope. And so I never expect to have any traffic with another six-shooter. The reasons are three: 1. I couldn't hit anything with it. 2. Some tough guy might take it away from me, 3. It would eventually go off in my face.

1. SURVEY IN ROAD 31 FIGHT

‘300 Relocation Foes Vote ‘Last Effort’ Before Court Battle.

By TIM TIPPETT

Opponents of relocation of Road 31 have decided to make one more effort to halt the project before carrying their fight to the State courts. More than 300 persons attended a meeting sponsored by the Perry Township Businessmen, Inc., at the Southport High School last night. Edwin E. Thompson, attorney for the group, said that “it is only a question of time before we will have to take our fight to the State Courts,” and that “we should have acted before this.”

Petition P. S. C. to Act

It was then decided to wire Washington for a Federal engineer to make a survey of the proposed route. The vote was unanimous. Petitions to be presented to the State Public Service Commission were signed at the meeting. The petitions ask the Commission to order the company operating the interurban line which parallels present Road 31 to show cause why the line should not be abandoned, The signing of these petitions followed several verbal attacks on the Interurban line by those attending the meeting. T. W. Davidson branded the line as “outmoded, obsolete [and death-dealing.” Howard C. | Smith, Businessmen’s Club president, termed the interurban as “a deathdealing contraption.” Those at the meeting pointed out that of the busses which serve the area, none has been responsible for a traffic fatality while the interurban was charged with “taking more than the average toll.”

Future Safety Stressed

The removal of the line would, ac cording to proponents of the plan, enable the State Highway Commission to widen present Road 31 which would make unnecessary,” the costly building of a road where there was no road before.” Also adopted was a resolution asking Marion County Commissioners to open S. East St. through to the Marion-Johnson County line. The Highway Commission's proposal to relocate Road 31 would use S. East St. instead of Madison Ave. Also stressed was “the future safety of our residents.” Elmer Houze, Elwood realtor, stated that if the new road were constructed as proposed there would be a dip of eight feet at the intersection of Eppler | Ave, | “They tell us that they will place (a stoplight there and that will solve | the problem. This is one of the most |used roads in Marion County and traffic lights are a poor excuse for safety engineering,” Mr. Houze said. Others whe participated in the meeting were Prof. W. Earl Stoneburner of Indiana Central College; | Herbert Harris, editor of the Greenwood News; Harry Harmon, John H. Moore and Mrs. Bertha Walton Baker,
